WAsHIEeToN, d. c., Feb. lit is stated
that Judge Holman viii retire from Con-
gress at the close of the Fiftieth Congress,
and il he reappears in public life it will be
as Governor of Indiana. Some of Mr.. Vor-
hees most intimate friends state that he is
very tired of the cares of state, and would
gladly yield his position and commence the
practice of his profession in New York could
he be sure of a Democratic successor. The
success and wealth which has earned Conk-
hDg's retiracy from public life is pointed to
as a reason why Mr.. Voorhees, would consult
his own personal interests If he did resign.
1t is well known that after many years of
public service Senator Voorhees, can proudly
and honestly say, Il am poor man. but it
is hardly probable he will feel it duty

I'm A Cuban Hotel.

A Cuban hotel is q curiosity to
strangers. The dining rooms here face
the street, and they are as open as
though no wall separated them from it.
The office-counter and the writing
table, or writing-room at the end OF
the dining-room, and eating, writing
and business go on inside of the same
walls This room, however, is large
square one. and there Is no confusion.
The dining tables are OF ali sizes, so
that one can dine alone or party of a
dozen or more can eat their table d'hote
together. AS TO decorations the
brightest of colors are used in the in
terror painting of the hotel, and in
some rooms frescos prevail. Red and
sky blue are seen everywhere and the
floors of the chambers and halls are
paved in marble and red tile. l write
this letter in my bedraom. There is no
plaster on the ceilings of these hotels,
and the great rafters above me are
as blue as the bluest sky. The win
dows are almost as large as the side OF
the room and they are kept open day
and night. The bed'is of iron and the
mattress was never made of feathers.
A frame work extends on every Cuban
bed, and we sleep in cages OF coarse
lace like that used for cheap curtains at
home. Most of the cuban beds have no
mattresses, The sheets are stretched
on wire springs, and Gen. Brice told

A NOrthe rn California Forest.

Here the tire es, of gigantic proper
tions, grew in such close contiguity
that it seemed battle for life through
lack of space; and the trail followed
narrowed until horse and rider had
barely room to pass between the trees.
The outspreading branches, interlocked
In inextricable ENHANCEMENT, formed
ed solid canopy of foliage, excluding
sunshine and light--so impenetrable
that 1t was useless for me to gaze up to-
ward the heavens, or even 10 guess the
time of day from the position Of the sun
or from any glimmer OF its rays. Not
carrying a watch, and accustomed to
tell the time by the length Of the

inability even to guess at the time OF

Wood and Bones In a Deep Well.

In addition to bits of charred wood
which we noticed the other day as hay
ing been brought up from depth Of
500 feet in the artesian well which the
Kicks Water company is drilling, we
have been shown pieces Of shells such
as are common along the ocean beach.
Thest came up from as far down as 800
feet, which depth has now been
reached. These fragments OF shells are
found in considerable quantity, and Mr.
Kicks informs us also that two or three
pieces Of bone from the skeleton of a
bird have come up. The finding of
such things SO deep in the earth is ex-
citing considerable interest in the COM
munity, and the inquiry naturally
arises: How came they there? Itseems
pretty conclusive that at some period
of the strata in which they are embed :
ded were not below the level of the sea.
At some time those shells were on tn e
surface, In ages past, somebody
kindled fire that charred those bits
of wood; some time that bird was wing
ing about above ground. But when
was that and by what means were the y

CHAPTER XIII.
THE VAULTS OF CLIFFE.

A bright December morning, the
twenty-third of the month, and so near
Christmas-day that the robin red
breasts were to be excused for mistak-
ing the day. The winter sun shone
Qayly on the white, hard frost;
the dark evergreens stood out clearly;
the sky was blue and cloudless--a
grand winters day-brilliant, bracing,
and beautiful, and this was the morning
on which Marguerite Lady Stair was to
be brought home-over the white frost
roads, through the green park she had
loved so well-through the beautiful
house which had not been the happiest
of homes to her-up to the luxurious
room where she had shed such bitter
tears.
They placed the body on the bed
with its dainty lace hangings; they
co yered Il with winter roses, with
every fair exotic that grew. The
whole house was filed with lamenta-
tions and mourning; but Lord Stair
sat apart. He could not realize this
horrible thing which had happened.
AS the hours passed on, he grew more
stunned and more bewildered. He
would not have the room darkened; he
would have no CHASTITY pageant of black
hangings and lurid light Of tapers.

Concerning Consumption.

A Southern Cal fornia practitioner,
Pr. John l.. Davis of Los Angeles, de
scribes the earlier symptoms of con
sumption whi h precede any active
intlammatory or destructive changes in
the lungs themselves. The earlier
symptoms, are he says, for the main
part, dependent upon the imperfect
assimilation of food and the consequent
mal-nutrition. First, he mentions
indigestion or dyspepsia, the stomach
ditfc lty being characterized as rule
by a distaste for certain foods, particu-
larry fatty substances, which in such
cases are likely to be difficult of diges
ton. Sugar fat, and alcohol rise acid,
causing sour quotations heartburn and
1atulence. DIR. Davis found in hospital
and private practice that some 81 per
cent. of consumptive patients had
dyspepsia, and in the majority of cases
it came as the first symptom complained
of y the patient. Often the distate for
fat has existed throu h life, but it is
not to be understood of course that
every person who dislikes fat will have
consumption
Another early symptom is the steady
loss of weight. 1t has been proved in
